| Regional Population Growth Good For Lynchburg, Virginia |
its4my2girls writes, "What a great report to see on the front page of Wednesday's News and Advance. The regions population growth is increasing: since 2000, Lynchburg's population has grown by almost 7%. The Wyndhurst community has had a substantial impact on the growth in the city of Lynchburg. In a related article, the City Council and Planning Commission are working to reach a comprehensive plan to deal with denser growth in the city. Nine percent of the city's vacant land has been developed since 2000. With the new Cornerstone development under construction on Greenview Drive, the population is sure to continue to rise.
The UVA demographic report from the Weldon Cooper Center shows local increases of:
Amherst County 3.3%
Appomattox County 6.1%
Bedford County 10.1%
Campbell County 2%
Nelson County 5%
Lynchburg City 6.8%
The only community to fall in population was Bedford City, down -3%, which the article speculates is due to an aging population.
Bedford County continues to see growth in the Forest and Smith Mountain Lake area. For the full article, go to www.newsadvance.com.
